Aliment Pharmacol Ther

Meta-Analysis: Comparison of Living Versus Deceased Liver Transplantation for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis.

In PSC, LDLT seems to be associated with higher post-LT survival, compared with DDLT. This could be explained by earlier referral to LT with lower liver disease burden and better performance status; better graft quality; and shorter cold ischaemia time. PSC patients requiring LT should be encouraged to consider LDLT.

Research Communication: Serum Metabolomic Signatures Predict Tumour Recurrence After Resection or Ablation in Patients With Early-Stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

In multivariable analysis, the 6-metabolite signature was associated with early recurrence (aHR 2.8, 95% CI 1.1-7.5), and the 13-metabolite signature was associated with overall recurrence (aHR 2.5, 95% CI 1.1-6.0). These data support the potential role of serum metabolites in post-treatment risk stratification for HCC recurrence.

Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Safety of Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

In this large real-world cohort study, GLP-1 RA therapy was not associated with increased risk of most serious GI or hepatobiliary outcomes compared to other oral diabetes medications. These findings support the overall GI and hepatobiliary safety of GLP-1 RAs in patients with type 2 diabetes, while underscoring the need for vigilance regarding gastroparesis and intussusception in susceptible individuals. Longer-term studies are warranted to fully evaluate cancer risk.

Risk of venous thromboembolism following colorectal cancer surgery in patients with and without inflammatory bowel disease.

Patients with IBD are at elevated risk of VTE following CRC surgery compared to those without IBD. The strongest associations were observed in those who had received IBD treatment before surgery and in those with active disease, particularly patients with UC. These findings emphasize the need for increased VTE awareness and optimizing disease control in high-risk IBD patients.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists are associated with a lower risk of peptic ulcer disease: a nationwide cohort study.

In this nationwide cohort study of T2DM patients, GLP-1 RA use was associated with 44% lower odds of PUD. In our propensity-score matched sub-group, switching to GLP-1 RA as second-line therapy was associated with a 56% lower hazard of PUD vs insulin. These findings indicate an association between GLP-1 RA use and reduced risk of PUD.

Histology of colonic submucosal lesions reveals a high proportion of benign lesions that do not require R0 en bloc endoscopic resection.

Most colonic submucosal lesions are non-malignant and do not warrant advanced endoscopic resection. A new therapeutic approach could be first-line use of a low-risk, low-cost histological diagnostic technique followed in a second phase by a more advanced technique in the event of a malignant histological result. Further studies are needed to evaluate this step-up strategy.

Alcohol activates ATF4/LPLA2-mediated BMP metabolism to enhance HBV-induced hepatocellular carcinogenesis.

The data demonstrated that alcohol activates ATF4/LPLA2-mediated BMP metabolism to enhance HBV-induced HCC (HBV-HCC). LPLA2 is a potential therapeutic target and a probable marker of poor prognosis for HCC patients. Impact and implications Chronic alcohol consumption promotes HBV-induced hepatocellular carcinogenesis (HBV-HCC). ATF4/LPLA2-mediated BMP metabolism promotes alcohol-enhanced HBV-HCC via MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. Targeting LPLA2 or BMP metabolism markedly inhibited HBV-HCC progression. This preclinical study provides a theoretical basis to investigate novel strategies for HCC therapy.

Engineered monoclonal antibody tobevibart enhances HBsAg capture by Fc receptor-positive cells and activates HBV-specific T cells.

We demonstrate that tobevibart combines the advantages of potent neutralization of HBV and HDV with FcγR-mediated reduction of HBsAg and enhancement of T cell responses. Tobevibart is under clinical investigation alone or in combination with other agents to treat patients with chronic hepatitis delta and to induce functional cure of patients with CHB. Impact and implications () Chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) or co-infection with hepatitis delta virus (HDV) can cause severe liver disease and cancer. We previously showed that the monoclonal antibody tobevibart potently neutralizes HBV and HDV. Here we demonstrate that the engineered Fc region of tobevibart effectively interacted with several immune cell types, potentially facilitating the rapid removal of damaging viral proteins from circulation and activating T cell responses that may control HBV infection long term. Clinical trial VIR-3434-1002, phase 1, ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT04423393.

Healthy eating and physical activity significantly lower sex-specific alcohol-attributable liver mortality in the United States.

Healthy eating and increased levels of PA significantly lower the risk of alcohol-attributable liver-related mortality in the US population. Impact and implications This study found that any amount of alcohol intake and binge drinking were associated with an increased risk of liver-related mortality. Adherence to healthy dietary patterns and increased physical activity lower the risk of liver mortality across al drinking patterns, including heavy and binge drinking. Liver survival benefits from both physical activity and diet quality are greater in women than men. A diet rich in vegetables, fruits, grains, seafood, plant-based proteins, and unsaturated fatty acids, combined with a reduced intake of empty calories from solid fats, alcohol, and added sugars, is associated with a lower risk of liver-related mortality. Economically disadvantaged populations are exposed to high-risk alcohol use, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity, and therefore increased liver mortality.

Risk of alcohol-related liver disease and cause-specific mortality in individuals seeking treatment for alcohol use disorder.

This study showed the substantial burden of alcohol-related disease and mortality in individuals seeking treatment for AUD. Specifically, the risk of ALD was 7% after 10 years, 13% in those with type 2 diabetes. Impact and implications Knowledge of the absolute risk of alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) and cause-specific death among individuals in treatment for alcohol use disorder is crucial to make decisions on screening for ALD. The study highlights the need for improved care of individuals in treatment for alcohol-use disorder to prevent morbidity and mortality due to ALD, other alcohol-related causes, but also cancer and cardiovascular disease. The higher risk of ALD in those with type 2 diabetes suggests that clinicians should be specifically aware of alcohol consumption and liver disease in their patients with type 2 diabetes.
